Praise for The Genesis Secret:
‘Steeped in both blood and history and keeps up a scorching pace from start to finish’ Northern Echo
Product Description
The gripping new high-concept thriller from the author of The Genesis Secret, perfect for fans of Dan Brown and Sam Bourne.
In America a young man inherits a million dollars, from a grandfather he thought was poor. Meanwhile, across Europe old men and women are being killed, in the most barbaric and elaborate of ways. And a brilliant scientist has disappeared from his laboratory in London, taking his extraordinary experiments with him.
Tying these strange events together is an ancient Biblical curse, a medieval French tribe of pariahs, and a momentous and terrible revelation: something that will alter the world forever. One couple is intent on discovering this darkest of secrets, others will kill, and kill again, to stop them.
Shifting from the forgotten churches of the Pyrenees, to the mysterious castles of the SS, to the arid and frightening wastes of Namibia, Tom Knox weaves together astonishing truths from ancient scripture and contemporary science to create an unputdownable thriller.

Format:Paperback
A plot pretty much akin to an Enid Blyton book. I thought that Genesis Secret was bad enough but Mr Knox has gone over the top with this one. Do all his books involve references to inter-species mating? A bit worrying really. Would love to see the helicopter that can fly from Namibia to Amsterdam and would be very interested to discover when Gaelic Psalm singing (or Gaelic language for that matter)started in Foula !!
A juvenile read at best.

Having read and thoroughly enjoyed The Genesis Secret, I was looking forward to this book. It has some good sections but the believability of it all became a bit farcical and there were a few plot errors along the way.
Reasonable but not a patch on the Genesis Secret.

Fascinating and gripping race through the Basque Country.I didn't know anything about the Cagots before reading the book and was interested immediately in this unique race of people.Exploring the genetics made it very topical.I found the characters interesting and fairly believable,although Miguel was rather extreme!At times I found it very violent and scary.But altogether an exciting read in a unique setting.

Solid fun and action. Enjoyable.
Picked this up after reading Knox's previous and although the plot is not as large in scope as The Genesis Secret, it's a really fun read. Worth the effort and money. Read more

a great adventure - fast paced and entertaining, but some unnecessary...
Tom Knox's second novel is - like the Genesis Secret - a gripping and classic adventure tale. However, it is in parts unnecssary cruel and daunting. Read more
